Coming Down the Pipe

A Solemn Week for Canada Did I Write That?

Coming Down the Pipe

In Deiform Three, Jillian says something along the lines of, “We were at a dead end, and now we have tons of leads to explore.” I feel the same way about my writing. After not releasing anything new since December of last year, I’m swimming in work that’s coming down the pipe.

Unseen Bonds (Deiform Three)

I received the story back from my editor a couple of weeks ago. It was a good edit, in the sense that there wasn’t much for me to revise. I’m preparing the book for publication. I expect the eBook to be available around the third week of November (maybe earlier). The print book should be available in December.

Like Water and Water

When I first posted that I’d re-released this story, I said that I’d put it into Amazon’s KDP Select program, which meant that it had to be exclusive to Amazon for 90 days. Well, the 90 days are up, so the story is now available at Amazon, kobo, iBooks, Smashwords, Scribd, and B&N. It should also be available from Oyster soon. Details here.

Friends Torn Apart (The Daros Chronicles 1)

This is the first installment of the new epic fantasy serial. I’ve completed the first draft and my first round of editing, and my beta is currently reading it. The installment is around 11,000 words. For comparison’s sake, the first installment of the Rymellan series was around 9,000 words. I’d like to release an installment every two months or so, but I won’t hold myself to that. It won’t be the only thing I’m writing. Having said that, I wouldn’t want to go longer than four months without an installment, so writing this serial will be one of my priorities. The first installment will go to my editor on November 24. I’ll talk more about it around then.

Faith or Madness

I said I was going to title the story about Roberta God or Madness, but I’ve since changed my mind. My beta has read it and reported back. It will go to my editor on December 8. Faith or Madness tells the story of how Roberta came into the Deiform Fellowship. It’s told from her point of view. Jillian and Sam aren’t in it because they weren’t in the Fellowship at that time (they were both children when Roberta came in).

I might offer this story for free. Alternatively, I might initially put it into the KDP Select program, meaning it would be exclusive to Amazon for the first 90 days of its release. Regardless of what I decide, I’m going to give the book to those on my new releases mailing list for free, as a thank you for being on the list. If you’re not on the list, consider subscribing. I only send out an email when I release a book. I don’t send out newsletters or anything like that.

Busy, Busy, Busy

As you can see, I have a full plate. This is the way I see things shaping up from this point forward—subject to change, of course. I’ll write one novel a year, which will be a Deiform Fellowship book until I get tired of writing the series. In addition, I’ll release a bunch of novelette and novella length stories. Some will belong to serials or tie in to series; others will be standalone. All will feature strong female main characters.

Happy Halloween!
